Tonight I’ll be playing new music from Daryl Hance (of MOFRO fame), as well as new music from the New Familiars, Southeast Engine, and Tara Nevins. My interview guest this week is Bill Anderson of Churchwood.

rick’s stuff here.

As always locals can tune in to WCOM 103.5 FM and everyone else can tune into the webcast. So tune in from 9-11pm Eastern time Monday night!

When You Need a Train It Never Comes / Amanda Shires / Carrying Lightning / 4:13Sheetrock Hanger / Rod Picott / Welding Burns / 4:19Tired of Being Lonely / Mark Junger / More Like a Good Dog Than a Bad Cat / 3:19Notes: First-rate new releases from frequent collaborators Amanda Shires and Rod Picott. Mark Junger’s record is pretty darn good too.

I Will Do the Breathing / Matt the Electrician / Accidental Thief / 4:31Merseysong / Rico Bell w/ the Waco Brothers / No One Got Hurt / 2:56Joe Tex / The Black Swans / Don’t Blame the Stars / 4:06Notes: More new stuff, including the middle disc, which was recorded live at Chicago’s Hideout and features many of the Bloodshot label’s finest. And if only Joe Tex had recorded a song titled “The Black Swans.”

Abe Lincoln / Chip Robinson / Texas Renegade Radio Vol. 2: Live in the Studio / 4:20Hey Hey / Graham Lindsey / Famous Anonymous Wilderness / 2:53Beesting / Chip Robinson / Mylow / 4:51Nobody Gonna Miss Me / Graham Lindsey / The Mine EP / 2:56Notes: Two of my favorites are coming to the area: Graham Lindsey will be at Slim’s on Tuesday, May 24 (aka, tomorrow night), and Chip Robinson will be across the street at the Station on June 2 and at Slim’s on June 3.

That’s How Every Empire Falls / RB Morris / Spies Lies and Burning Eyes / 4:34I Viberate / Martin Belmont / The Guest List / 2:18Shoot the Moonlight Out / Garland Jeffreys / American Boy & Girl / 3:25Notes: Marianne Faithfull recorded RB Morris’ “That’s How Every Empire Falls” on her latest. Martin Belmont’s guest list features the likes of Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack, Carlene Carter, and Geraint Watkins. Garland Jeffreys would have fit in too: even though they were on opposite sides of the Atlantic, they traveled in some of the same circles back in the day. Jeffreys’ Ghost Writer, One-Eyed Jack, and American Boy & Girl have been reissued as a two-CD set by the good people at Raven in Australia.
